Tomorrow Calling, is a series of talks and think-tanks hosted by Red Bee Media. The brief was, to create an exciting online teaser video for the launch of the event. At the end of the video a button appears, which links to the Tomorrow Calling website. The Rocketman would like to thank everyone involved.
The Bottle Shot
Movie Magic Spoiler: As so many people have asked: “How did we manage to make the bottle to roll forwards and backwards?” Well, we didn’t reverse the footage or use fishing wire – although we definitely considered it.
Three finest minds in any disused underground pumping station in Hammersmith pondered: the Rocketman, Ed Rutherford and Sean the Gaffer (All available for pub quizzes). After several minutes of head scratching at the recce. Ed came up with the genius idea to use two leaf blowers to blow the bottle. I wanted to use a wind machine but a leaf blower considerably more directional. Choosing a heavy wine bottle we were able to blow the bottle both ways, past Lilly and Mycal the actor. Look at Lilly. She doesn’t even react to the leaf blowers off-screen. That’s screen acting.
